Miles Taylor was a man who was famously known as “Anonymous” before he outed himself as a Trump-hater serving in Donald Trump’s administration while he was trying to undermine it.
Instead, he doxed the people who signed up — more than 17,000 of them, as a matter of fact.
Not since the Marshall McLuhanscenein “Annie Hall” has ironic cosmic justice been delivered with such aplomb on such deserving people. And the McLuhan scene was just a fantasy inside the Woody Allen character’s head! This is real life!
So anyway, in case you’ve forgotten why you know who Miles Taylor is in the first place, I give you “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” an anonymously publishedOp-Edin The New York Times in September of 2018, which the Times promised us was from a high-ranking Trump administration official which is why they allowed the writer to nameless:
The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
I would know. I am one of them.
To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous.
But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.
Such was the febrile speculation that many even believed it was written by then-Vice President Mike Pence, since the word choice (particularly the use of “lodestar“) seemed to point to him. When Taylor, chief of staff to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen when the piece was written,unmasked himself in 2020, America collectively went: “Wait,who?”
But Taylor is supposed to be a tech security expert, particularly on issues of national security. After all, hisWikipediaentry differentiates him from other Miles Taylors not by parenthetically referring to him as “Miles Taylor (self-important Op-Ed writer)” but “Miles Taylor (security expert).”
